On March 13th I was lucky enough to be able to get into Boston Logan and witness the New England Free Jacks be recognized in the Terminal C Hall of Champions with banners raised for the 2023 and 2024 MLR championships. #WeWantThree

Finished reading: The Armageddon Protocol by Dan Moren 📚I’d been putting this off a little bit because Dan’s books are so hard to put down and I didn’t want to say goodbye to Kovalic and crew. Fantastic romp. Alleged finale but like all the best series finales it leaves one wanting more.

In BlueSky I applaud the desire to avoid passwords but magic links are awful UX. The shorter version should be “we use magic links because that’s what ghost uses”. Passkeys aren’t mentioned except as followup to the BlueSky. Even Apple/google/microsoft logins would be better.
